It looks as though Video Game trivia knowledge can land you a nice sum of money according to one contestant on the hit American TV show, Jeopardy. Xiaoke Ying,  a sophomore majoring in business of cinematic arts, piped up with the correct answer to presenter Alex Trebek’s question regarding the much loved, apocalyptic seriesThe Last of UsÂnetting herself third in her quarterfinal match, but her final score of $12,800 qualified her as a wild card into the semifinals.All of the contestants, which included Ying and two other students from Yale University and the University of Texas at Austin, were given a clue by Trebek which read “The long-awaited, upcoming sequel to this PlayStation game revisits Ellie and Joel after a cross country trek filled with zombies.” Along with the clue, some scenes of Ellie and Joel were shown on a big screen in the background from the trailer ofThe Last of Us Part 2shown from the preview event in Los Angeles last year. It didn’t take Ying long at all to confidently declare the answer by replying “What is The Last of Us”. Most of us who have some knowledge onThe Last of Uswill also have seen a mistake in the question. Trebek called the infected in the game zombies, but I guess you can’t have everything - even though it’s slightly annoying.

In an interview with theDaily Trojan, Ying told reporterMariaÂEberhart that even though she didn’t partake in many video games, she did watch a lot of “Let’s Play”s so she felt pretty certain that this was one question she could definitely answer with confidence. She stated that the Video Game category really helped her level up in the quiz having previously also gotten a correct answer on the classic arcade game ‘Q*bert’. It just goes to show that your video game knowledge will always come in handy and could even bag you some cold, hard cash in the process.

For fans ofThe Last of Us, you will be happy to learn that you may pre-orderThe Art of The Last of Us Part 2Âhardcover and Kindle editions that will include 200-pages, except the former is physicaland costs $35.99at present, and the latter is digital and costs $19.99. The book comes in three editions:a deluxe edition, a hardcover edition, and a Kindle edition and is slated for release on July 24, 2025, by Dark Horse Books. Hopefully, by this stage, we will get to hear more about a release date for the actual game ofThe Last of Us Part 2Âafter it was pushed back due to the worldwide effects of the Coronavirus.

Last month we witnessed somepreviously seengameplay fromThe Last of Us Part 2from Naughty Dog but this time it came under fire frompeople complaining the snow deformationlacked the quality they expected. Seen in the video is Ellie and as she jumps down onto the snow, it flakes and crumbles in a strange way making gamers skeptical at the level of thought that has gone into the animation. Given that the clip from the game would be fairly old by now, I’m confident that Naughty Dog has fixed any strange anomalies now since they have had the time since to freshen things up.

The Last of Us 2 was originally set to release late in May but as of now, no release date has been rescheduled. As always, when anyÂThe Last of Us Part 2 news drops in, you can be sure that DualShockers will have it covered. Who knows whenÂThe Last of Us Part 2 will end up releasing now – we’re hopeful it’ll only be a couple of months behind – but in the meanwhile, we did recently get someÂnew screenshots from the game to hold us over. If you don’t want to be spoiled at all for the impending launch ofÂThe Last of Us Part 2 (whenever that will be)Âthen you’re better off not watching the latestÂleaked game footage showing Ellie playing the guitar and running around a theater. Although the video has since been removed from YouTube but not before obtaining 50,000 views and a mass of people downloading it.
